v9.4.0 is what I had been using and the IDD that I had modified, but I've since upgraded the model to v22.2 and updated

I have tried the solution I believe Ahmed was describing, but it did not work i.e. duplicating the final three items fro

I've made some progress, but still debugging...

In the measure.rb file near the top, change the "release_mode = false" line to equal "true".

You'll see an if/then statement below where false is noted as "#For only when using git hub development environment." Since you're actually in OpenStudio, you don't want this to apply.

I don't know Ruby and this is my first go at Measures, so any help would be appreciated. Currently running in to this error now, "failed to compute arguments for measure: cannot load such file -- zip"

From CBECC-Com help staff:

CBECC-Com applies the Metal Building mandatory u-factor checks to walls that use a construction that includes the material "Metal Siding - 1/16 in." Metal building roofs are those that include a composite material of framing type “metal” with the framing configuration of "RoofMetalScrewDown," "RoofMetalStandingSeam," or "RoofMetalStandingSeamFilledCavity." Any other construction is classified into one of the other categories.

SECTION 120.7 of Title 24-2013 has "MANDATORY INSULATION REQUIREMENTS" which CBECC-Com checks the modeled constructions against. There are different minimum U-factors depending on the type of envelope element (i.e. wall, roof, etc.) and the type of construction (i.e. metal frame, wood frame, etc.) including "Metal Building" constructions. These minimum U-factors are less stringent, so your modeled construction may exceed the typical minimum U-factor and trigger an error in CBECC-Com, but in reality should comply.

What materials need to be included to get CBECC-Com to recognize the less stringent Mandatory U-factors for Metal Buildings?

I have a spreadsheet set up to read information from .doe files created by EnergyPro and was hoping to reuse it on an eQUEST model.
